Hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Xiaogang's Blind Confidence

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena left Notting Academy.

No sooner had the two left than Tang San rushed into Yu Xiaogang's room.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was still flipping through the book in his hands, turning page after page with complete focus, utterly unaware of Tang San's arrival.

"Teacher."

Tang San walked over and called softly.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang come back to his senses. He put down the book and looked up at Tang San.

"Little San, why are you in such a panic?"

He was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge, preparing to publish another Martial Soul theory.

Ten Core Martial Soul Competition Theories.

That alone was not enough. To raise his reputation, he needed more knowledge, and he also needed to cultivate genius disciples like Tang San, as well as Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena in the future.

One day, even the ruler of a nation would have to show him some respect.

"Shen Yifeng, he... he went to hunt his third Soul Beast. It seems he has already broken through to Soul Elder."

Tang San said excitedly.

"What?"

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze. "How is that possible? He hasn't even graduated yet. Little San, did you hear wrong?"

"No. I heard his conversation with Gu Yuena in the cafeteria earlier. It was absolutely true."

Tang San was extremely certain.

He was someone who watched in all directions and listened in every direction. How could he possibly have heard wrong?

"Then this is troublesome."

Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply, his feelings complicated.

What worried him was that Tang San was still a Soul Grandmaster. By graduation, he would at most be a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster, nowhere near the realm of a Soul Elder.

Breaking through level thirty meant becoming a Soul Elder.

Shen Yifeng's talent was also unprecedented. Even Bibi Dong had not been his equal at that age.

What a monster. If such a genius was not taught by him, would he not be completely wasted?

"Little San, don't lose heart. At the end of the day, he is only an auxiliary Soul Master. Your hidden weapons are the true path."

Yu Xiaogang did not think the situation was hopeless.

"Teacher, I understand."

Meanwhile, after half a day of travel, Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena had arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

The moment he stepped onto the ground, Shen Yifeng covered his ears with both hands.

"Stop talking already. You've been chattering nonstop the whole way."

"Yifeng, I was sharing things with you, and they were good things too. How could you say that?"

Gu Yuena pouted.

How could my wife think of me that way? It seemed I was still a somewhat inadequate husband.

She would not even let him kiss her. They had only gone as far as that last indirect kiss, unable to move on to deeper contact.

Even in her dreams, she imagined that thrilling sensation of tongues slipping inside and entwining together.

"You talk too much. Can you say a little less?"

Shen Yifeng rolled his eyes.

"No."

Gu Yuena refused decisively.

Shen Yifeng continued walking forward without responding to Gu Yuena.

With several great ferocious beasts around, there was basically no need to worry about safety.

"Yifeng, wait for me."

Gu Yuena quickly caught up.

I wonder how Di Tian and the others have prepared things.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun carried a Soul Beast over to Di Tian.

With a thud, Xiong Jun heavily threw the Soul Beast from his shoulder onto the ground.

It was a Gale Dragon Hawk covered in bluish-green feathers. Several claw marks, deep enough to expose bone, ran across its wings. Its feathers were soaked in blood, its chest heaving violently as it clung to its last breath.

"Di Tian, look. A five-thousand-year Gale Dragon Hawk. It was fighting a Hurricane Demon Wolf for food just now and got seriously injured. It was about to die, so I brought it back while I was at it."

Di Tian stepped forward and inspected it carefully.

"It will do. It is just right for the mistress."

Bi Ji crouched down, her fingertips brushing over the Gale Dragon Hawk's wounds as she said softly:

"The injuries are too severe. It can last at most another half hour."

"Perfect. That saves us the trouble of looking for one."

Zi Ji leaned against a tree trunk and glanced at Xiong Jun with a smile.

"I didn't expect you clumsy bear to have such good luck."

Xiong Jun scratched his head and chuckled.

"Of course. I deliberately searched around this area for most of the day."

Then Xiong Jun froze. "Shouldn't you call me a handsome bear? Clumsy bear doesn't sound good at all."

"Only realizing it now proves that the word clumsy suits you."

Zi Ji let out a soft laugh.

Di Tian waved his hand.

"Everyone, hide. Do not expose yourselves. Wait for the master and mistress to arrive."

The four immediately scattered and silently hid among the surrounding bushes.

Before long, footsteps sounded through the forest.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena walked over side by side and immediately spotted the Gale Dragon Hawk on the ground.

"A Gale Dragon Hawk, around five thousand years old."

"Yifeng, we really hit the jackpot."

Gu Yuena said, her eyes filled with delight.

The Soul Beast Di Tian and the others had found was not bad, and it had clearly suffered serious injuries.

Shen Yifeng crouched down and carefully examined the Gale Dragon Hawk's condition. Blood was slowly draining from its body, and the claw marks covering it made it obvious that it had been wounded by another Soul Beast.

"We did hit the jackpot. It only has one breath left, so we don't need to keep searching."

He drew his dagger and immediately plunged it into the Gale Dragon Hawk's body, swiftly ending its life.

Blood splattered everywhere. Soon, a dark-purple thousand-year Soul Ring emerged from the corpse.

"Yifeng, absorb it. With me here, you can rest completely assured. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

Gu Yuena took on the role of bodyguard.

"Thanks, but don't do anything strange."

Shen Yifeng gave her a reminder, then immediately sat cross-legged and began guiding the Soul Ring toward the top of his head.

Seeing Shen Yifeng calm his breathing and focus on absorbing the Soul Ring, the ferocious beasts hidden nearby also emerged.

"Master, are you satisfied with this Soul Beast?"

"Xiong Jun found it in the forest."

Gu Yuena glanced at Xiong Jun.

"Good work. Xiong Jun, I will credit you for this."

"Thank you, Master." Xiong Jun beamed with joy.

It was his first time receiving praise from the master, and he felt refreshed all over.

"How are things in Heaven Dou City? Have you prepared to relocate at any time?"

She had previously told the four that the Gold Soul Coins earned over the past year and a half were already entirely sufficient, almost impossible to spend up.

"Reporting to Master," Di Tian said, "we have already prepared everything. We are only waiting for the mistress to graduate and head to Heaven Dou City. Has the mistress decided which academy to attend?"

"She hasn't said, but Yifeng should already have his own plans. There is no need for us to worry about it."

Gu Yuena did not ask too much. What if her wife disliked it and said she was meddling? Then she would have to find a way to coax her wife again.

Judging from how things were going between them, they were only one final step away from kissing.

Once they kissed, the rest could proceed naturally.

Kissing, bedroom matters, then pregnancy and having children. It was something that could happen in one smooth flow.

It was only that the one having the child would be her, not her wife.

Once they had a child, they could nurture it and attempt to return to the God Realm. But would her wife be targeted by certain gods?

What if they took a fancy to her wife's beauty?

She had to carve her image into her wife's heart. She had to let her know that the one who truly loved her was definitely herself.

"Master, the mistress is almost done absorbing it. We will hide first."
